GenLink to SabLink for ARM9
Site under construction
Converting a GenLink Installation to an Sablink system is a tricky process becuase the gcc from the genlink is unable to compile new packages without errors so a new genlink was created with a proper gcc to compile all the required apdates to move to SabLink
Get The Genlink up to date
First you need to update your gentoo that way you can use the sablink tools
change the used BINHOST in /etc/make.conf to
This Binhost contains the needed updates for sablink
now update the packages to the right version because the new packages are eapi masked we have to trick the install
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly -O python:2.7
then add the add the eselct-python
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly -O eselect-python
now select python 2.7
eselect python list eselect python set x
now force the right version of portage
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly -O portage
now install the tools used by equo
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly shadow
and now get the sablink tools installed
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly equo
and get the core files for sablink
emerge --getbinpkgonly --usepkgonly -O sablink-core
now your system is prepared for sablink system
Change the CHOST and force entropy Arch
now you system is still aof type armv5tejl it needs to be changed to armv5tel (the j is standing for Arm Jazzel but no linux version is supporting it native so no need for it; arm also removed proper Jazzel support in newer processors)
change the /etc/make.conf from
now force the proper arch also for the entropy package manager (if you type uname -a its still armv5tejl)
echo "armv5tel" > /etc/entropy/.arch
now your system is prepared for the migration to SabLink
Generate the the Local Entropy database and fetch the remote entropy update database
Entropy maintaines its own package database lets generate it out of the gentoo Source package database
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 equo rescue generate
and update the the remote repository
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 equo update
!!!! Don't do an equo upgrade it will destroy your system we have to force specific packages first !!!!
now force the install of the core packages
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 equo install --nodeps glibc

It's been a while since RIM got leaky with one of its handsets. Well, a couple of months at least. But the BlackBerry Bold 9790 seems to be popping up all over the place - so we thought it only best that we bring it to your attention.
The 9790, which has seemingly been papped more times than a Beckham family picnic, looks to be the next QWERTY monster from the Canadian phone giant and is a phone that RIM accidentally even leaked itself once.
Looks wise, it's not too dissimilar to the already-available BlackBerry Bold 9780 although it does take some design inspiration, particularly in the buttons department, from the BlackBerry Torch 9850/60 series.
No official word from Research in Motion yet, but the rumour mill is suggesting a November launch for the 9790.
Stay tuned to Pocket-lint though RIM-lovers, we'll keep you posted.

Mary E. Bisantz, former assistant district attorney
Sept. 5, 1944 – March 10, 2013
Mary E. Bisantz, a Buffalo native and former Erie County assistant district attorney, died March 10 after a lengthy illness. She was 68.
A 1962 graduate of Holy Angels Academy, Ms. Bisantz was awarded the Grey Nuns Distinguished Alumnae Award. She graduated from D'Youville College in 1966 and received the Ann Lum Award in 2006.
In 1969, she received her law degree from the University at Buffalo Law School.
In her third year of law school, she had the distinction of being the first woman editor of the SUNY Buffalo Law Review. Ms. Bisantz was admitted to the practice of law in New York in 1970 and practiced with Brown, Kelly, Turner, Hassett and Leach from 1970 to 1973.
She then served as an Erie County assistant district attorney and subsequently worked in the Commission on Judicial Conduct in Albany.
She later worked as assistant attorney general of New York in Albany until she was appointed a U.S. administrative law judge in the Raleigh, N.C., Office of Hearing and Appeals, Social Security Administration, in 1994.
In 1995, she was promoted to the position of chief judge in the hearing office.
Four years later, she was promoted to the position of acting regional chief judge in Seattle. And in 1999, Ms. Bisantz was appointed deputy chief judge in Falls Church, Va., the No. 2 position in the agency, presiding over 1,000 judges.
She continued in that position until 2003, the year she returned to Raleigh.
Ms. Bisantz retired at the end of 2006, spending much of her time in Rodanthe, N.C., where she owned Homeport Gifts on Hatteras Island.
Ms. Bisantz is survived by her sister, Jean Patricia Caldiero. A memorial Mass will be offered at 10:30 a.m. May 25 in the D'Youville College Chapel, 320 Porter Ave.

Ancient cultures provide some of our deepest connections to the humanities, drawing life from that distant time when the study of history, philosophy, arts, literature, and language itself began. On the Internet, students can return to those times, re-enter that age of discovery, and learn from their study the timeless nature of the human condition and the profound effects of the human drama on people of any era.
This lesson plan begins with the study of Sophocles' Antigone and the universal issues it raises about power, gender, family obligation, ethics, and honor. It then moves to an exploration of ancient Greece, accents the importance of theater and its staging, the nature of tragedy in this culture, and culminates in student presentations and performances.
At the end of this lesson, students will be able to
Antigone is just one of seven plays that have survived from the many plays Sophocles wrote during his lifetime. The EDSITEment-reviewed Perseus Project as well as The Glory That Was Greece, (available via the EDSITEment-reviewed Internet Public Library) provides historical background for ancient Greece and the importance of theater as ritual in this culture. The latter website contains an ample biography of Sophocles. The EDSITEment-reviewed Internet Sourcebook links to Introduction to Greek Stagecraft, which also has three-dimensional images of Greek and Roman stages. Roger Dunkle of City Univesity of New York provides a useful summary and series of questions for the play in his Study Guide: Sophocles' Antigone, available via the EDSITEment-reviewed Internet Sourcebook.
Visit the Persues Project for information on the controversy concerning the historical basis of Antigone's defiance of Creon's edict, which features Sir Richard Jebb's "Commentary on Sophocles: Antigone."
The UVic Writer's Guide, available via the EDSITEment-reviewed Internet Public Library, provides helpful, clear definitions for literary terms such as dramatic irony, and includes references to historical terms from ancient Greece, such as tragedy, hamartia, hubris, and so on.
Begin by having students read and discuss Antigone by Sophocles. If desired, introduce biographical information for Sophocles and note that students will investigate aspects of Greek drama during the course of the lesson. Focus discussion on the underlying themes of the drama, the interlocking conflicts between men and women, age and youth, society and the individual, human justice and divine law, the obligations we owe to the living and the dead. Have students debate Antigone's choice, whether it betrays a tragic pride and inflexibility or demonstrates an heroic dedication to virtue. Conclude this discussion by having students comment on the relevance of this ancient play to contemporary life. When in recent history have individuals been forced to choose between the law and human rights? (In this connection, students might look into 20th-century versions of the play by Jean Anouilh and Bertolt Brecht.) When in their own lives have they faced a choice like Antigone's, a choice between obedience to authority and remaining true to one's conscience?
Have students imagine themselves time-traveling reporters sent back to the time of Sophocles to report on the opening of his new play, Antigone. Working in small groups, they can use the "Historical Overview" and the online "Encyclopedia" at the Perseus Project website, as well as resources in the school and public library, to learn about aspects of Athenian life in the 5th century BCE. Teachers might assign each group a specific topic in this research—family life, politics, the arts, religion, etc.—but have all groups explore the design and practices of the Athenian theater, as preparation for their report and presentation on Antigone in performance. The "Glory That Was Greece" website—available through the Internet Public Library—conveniently gathers information about Greek theater in a section on "Drama."
Follow up this research with a class discussion in which students share their findings and begin to gain some imaginative command over the facts they have accumulated.
Next, have students consider the structure of the work and its similarities and differences to plays of today. Begin by introducing the following vocabulary, some of which may be unfamiliar to the students:
Alternatively, students can use some of the resources listed in Background or on the LaunchPad, as well as traditional dictionaries and encyclopedic resources, to research these terms in conjunction with the group work listed below. On the EDSITEment LaunchPad, the terms and Group Activities are grouped together.
Use the Group Activities (listed on the EDSITEment LaunchPad) to guide students in their investigations.
Students might write their imaginary firsthand reports of the Antigone "premiere" in the form of a drama review or a traveler's journal. Encourage them to visualize the occasion in detail and to dramatize the experience by reporting, for example, how they got to the theater, where they sat, what they saw on stage and in the crowd surrounding them, how the audience reacted to specific lines of the play, and what they talked about after it was over.
William Stearns Davis's A Day In Old Athens, via the Perseus Project, provides a great deal of information about ancient Greece and is organized by category, which will help students to access easily the pertinent information for their presentations. Sections students may find relevant include:
202. The Greater Dionysia and the Drama . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 231
203. The Theater of Dionysus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 232
204. The Production of a Play . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 233
To skip to the appropriate section, in your web browser click on Edit, then on Find (on this page). Paste (or type) the section title into the dialog box that appears and click on Find Next. Only the text is provided, so visuals must be found elsewhere. If you wish to download the book for students to use as a reference, you may download differently formatted texts.
Conclude the lesson by having students perform key episodes from Antigone using gestures, blocking, and the acting style they "saw" at the play's premiere. Have them experiment with various ways of presenting the different characters' arguments and attitudes and discuss what these differences do to the audience's perceptions and understanding of the play. Discuss as a class how the play is enriched by seeing it in performance and recognizing its connections to Greek culture and society as well as to the world today. To sharpen this summary discussion, have students debate what the play might have meant to the women of Athens. What did it say about their role in society? Suggest that students research further the roles of women in ancient Greek society. What can the play say about the relationship between men and women in society today?
After students have concluded their performances of scenes, some classes may wish to perform scenes in modern dress and a modern setting as well. Discuss the kinds of choices they will need to make as they place the play in modern times. They need to consider costume colors, sets, furniture, props, etc. Also discuss how the design of the stage and theater influence the acting style and the audience's emotional connections to the action.
For English classes interested in exploring the influence of a translation on the audience's perception of the play, have students choose a key episode, then click on the online translation by Sir Richard Jebb at the Perseus Project and the Harvard Classic edition of Antigone translated by E. H. Plumptre Great Books Online (via Internet Public Library), and compare key moments in the Jebb and the Plumptre versions.
Teachers of Greek, Latin, or Ancient History will find the Perseus Project website a valuable resource for helping students develop reading comprehension. The site offers texts by Caesar and Cicero, Xenophon and Demosthenes, among many others, in a format that allows students quick access to hyperlinked wordtools, or a parallel translation, for interpretation of a difficult passage. In this environment, reading a classical text becomes an interactive process that reinforces student effort and reduces the frustration that is often the most formidable obstacle to learning. Have students who use the website for reading assignments report to the class about their experience.

When a lawyer spends five hours completing tasks that should take 20 minutes if technology were properly utilized, valuable time is wasted and unnecessarily billed to clients. Suffolk University Law School's Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation seeks to remedy this problem through a unique partnership with D. Casey Flaherty, corporate counsel at Kia Motors America.
Flaherty pioneered an innovative technology audit to test the efficiency of his outside counsel and has asked Suffolk Law to enhance and automate the audit so that it can be used by law schools and the legal marketplace. The audit confirmed for Flaherty that lawyers' lack of basic technological competence was translating into unnecessary costs for his company. His published reports caught the attention of Professor Andrew Perlman, the director of Suffolk Law's Institute. Through Jordan Furlong, a prominent law firm strategist and co-chair of the Institute's advisory board, Perlman got in touch with Flaherty, and the conversation quickly blossomed into a partnership.
"I'm excited to be working with Suffolk Law School, which already is ahead of the curve in educating the next generation of lawyers." said Flaherty. "Suffolk is well positioned to help current and future lawyers learn whether they are working efficiently and effectively with available technology."
Perlman identified a sampling of the ways in which new technology has changed the playing field:
- Standard: Using a calculator to sum a list of numbers and determine their average; Better: Using a formula in Excel
- Standard: Drafting a document from scratch; Better: Using templates and other forms of document automation
- Standard: Typing out the text of a hard copy of an existing document in order to convert it to electronic form; Better: Scanning a document and using optical character recognition (OCR) to translate the text
- Standard: Protecting client documents by storing them in a locked file cabinet behind a locked office door; Better: Using encryption and strong passwords to protect a client's information
- Standard: Reviewing paper documents as part of a privilege review during discovery; Better: Using predictive coding to sort through electronically stored information
Perlman said that these are the kinds of changes lawyers need to understand.
Suffolk will take the lead in enhancing and automating Flaherty's audit, which currently tests a variety of skills, including proficiency with Word, Excel and Adobe. Suffolk and Flaherty intend to expand the audit concept to cover additional subject areas, such as cybersecurity and knowledge management. Suffolk and Flaherty also hope to use the audit data to identify gaps in legal training and develop curricula to fill those gaps. Suffolk will make the audit freely available to law schools, lawyers and clients who want to promote technological competence.
"I'm thrilled that Suffolk has an opportunity to work with an innovator like Casey," said Perlman. "The partnership will allow us to make a contribution to the legal profession and legal education while helping to set the bar for the minimum level of technical ability lawyers should have."
The Institute will soon launch a crowdsourcing site to collect information from the legal industry about the technical skills and knowledge lawyers should possess and solicit advice on how to best to teach and test those skills. A beta version of the audit is expected in January 2014.
About the Participants
Andrew Perlman is a professor at Suffolk University Law School and the director of its Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation. Perlman recently completed his work as the chief reporter for the ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20, which successfully proposed changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and related policies in light of technological advances and globalization. Perlman also is an early adopter of Google Glass, having won the opportunity to devise innovative ways to use the wearable technology for interactive learning and legal practice.
D. Casey Flaherty is corporate counsel at Kia Motors America, Inc. He oversees KMA's dealer-related legal matters and electronic discovery. Flaherty regularly writes and speaks about the audit, electronic discovery, budgeting, and other topics. His LegalTech West keynote on the audit can be viewed for free here.

Say: blud type
Every person has a blood type. There are four major types, each with a different chemical marker that's attached to a person's red blood cells. These markers determine if someone has type A blood, type B blood, type O blood, or type AB blood. Each blood type can also be positive (+) or negative (-), just to make things a little more complicated! It's important that doctors know which blood type you have if you're going to have surgery, just in case you need some extra blood. But in an emergency, anyone can safely receive O-negative blood, regardless of his or her blood type.

This is a great looking and working deflector. However the install is a little difficult. The hold down clips are almost impossible to to keep in position while getting the nut on top. There is not enough room for an average size hand under the deflector. I installed this on a Ford F-150. Other makes may be easier, but I doubt it. I do like this type of install verses 3m tape, tho.

This article comes to us courtesy of California Watch.
English and Spanish alternate seamlessly in the classrooms at the Mission Education Center in San Francisco. Decorative signs identify objects that in other schools would seem too basic to name: "clock" and "door."
This public elementary school has for 40 years served children who have just arrived from Latin America and speak only Spanish, who beyond its walls are out of their element in almost every way.
Those students are dramatically fewer now. As the flow of immigrants from Mexico has dwindled in recent years, the school's enrollment has plummeted from a high of 264 students in the mid-2000s to 72 this past spring.
"We had low enrollment in 1994, when Prop. 187 passed," said fifth-grade teacher Lilly Chow, referring to the controversial ballot measure that sought to halt public services to unauthorized immigrants and was struck down in U.S. district court. "But never like this."
The change has transformed the size and cultural makeup of the school's classes. It has sliced the number of teachers nearly in half. And it has the small, close-knit staff deeply worried about whether the school will survive and how its young, vulnerable students will fare if it doesn't.
Students normally stay for a year or two, learning English and catching up on academics before they plunge into a conventional school.
Many of those children arrive in the U.S. culturally overwhelmed and academically far below their grade level. In a classroom full of English speakers, without specially geared instruction and care, Chow fears, "Eventually they're going to be dropouts."
At Mission Education Center, a yellow schoolhouse amid the Edwardian homes and quiet slopes of San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, students learn academic subjects like math and science in Spanish and study English for an hour a day. Parents sign a waiver exempting their children from Proposition 227, the 1998 measure that required all public school instruction be done in English.
Classrooms that just a few years ago brimmed with children now host only 12 to 14 students per grade. Some rooms are entirely dark, used only for after-school programs.
On a recent Thursday, teaching coach Rosie Esparza gave five fifth-graders with intermediate English an intensive lesson based on the solar system.
"What's another word they give for moons?" she asked.
"Satellites," the children echoed back. Only one in the group was Mexican. Others hailed from El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Since its founding, this little school has regularly seen the evidence of large international changes. A flood of children from El Salvador - among them Ricardo Cortez, now the school's fourth-grade teacher - arrived as civil war ripped the country in the 1980s. A wave of Hondurans appeared, then ebbed, after Hurricane Mitch in 1998.
Still, Mexican students predominated, delivered to San Francisco by what the Pew Hispanic Center has termed "the largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States." Over the past four decades, the Mexican-born population in the U.S. has surged to about 12 million, many of them here illegally, Pew reports.
It's hard to identify how many of those are students, since Mission Education Center and other California public schools do not inquire about students' immigration status. By law, all children present must be educated.
About five years ago, immigration from Mexico started to drop, and fast. Pew points to a number of explanations: The U.S. economy collapsed while Mexico's had been gradually strengthening. The dangers of rising drug-cartel violence in northern Mexico heightened. U.S. border enforcement and deportations intensified.
"They have more opportunities in their country now, so they're staying," said the school's second-grade teacher, Annie Rodriguez, whose great-grandparents emigrated from Mexico and who learned Spanish only as an adult, in college. "What is there here? They don't see that dream as they did before."
Christina Wong, special assistant to San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Carlos Garcia, oversees the district's programs for students learning English as a second language. While it's possible that other factors - such as parents choosing different schools for their newcomer kids - could account for part of the enrollment shift, she said, "The immigration pattern is real."
Pew reported in April that with fewer Mexicans coming to the U.S. and more leaving, net immigration from Mexico had "come to a standstill."
The staff at Mission Education Center already knew that.
The school's enrollment from most Latin American countries has waned in the past few years, but the drop from Mexico is especially steep. Mexicans made up nearly half the students in spring 2009; now they are just 15 percent.
From 2009 to 2010 alone, the number of Mexican students plummeted from 89 to 25. Now there are 11.
In contrast, enrollment has held steady at about 150 at the Chinese Education Center, the San Francisco Unified School District's elementary school for Mandarin- and Cantonese-speaking newcomers. At International High School, which also serves newcomers, Chinese students surpassed Latinos to become the majority in the 2010-11 school year.
Children at Mission Education Center come from various circumstances, but many lived in rural towns with limited schooling. Several have spent years separated from their parents who came to the U.S. ahead of them. Once in San Francisco, almost all are low income.
The students' projects on display in the halls include dioramas of their gardens in Latin America, lush with avocado trees and rowdy with dogs and birds. Handwritten letters to their old homes read: "Dear House, When I think of you I feel discouraged. ... I remember when we ate delicious melon together, like brothers, and played hide-and-seek under our beds, lovely and soft."
Mission Education Center's instructors - most of them immigrants or grandchildren of immigrants - teach these children "everything," said Chow, who emigrated from Nicaragua in her thirties on a Fulbright scholarship and has taught at the school for 23 years. "How to dress for the weather. Hygiene. Nutrition. On top of that, we help them to cope with the emotional issues that most of them have."
In that sense, the school's shrinking class sizes help. One Nicaraguan girl in Chow's fifth-grade class was reading at a first-grade level when she arrived last August; by May, she tested at a sixth-grade level.
"It's a paradise for me and my students," said Chow. "Having these low numbers, they can really advance. But it's not good for our program."
Fearing that the school could be closed for low enrollment, Principal Deborah Molof has applied to add a dual-language immersion program teaching English and Spanish to native speakers of both languages. That way, she reasons, the native speakers of both tongues could be models for each other, and the newcomers would still get the support they need. The district is considering her application.
Meanwhile, a teaching staff that once numbered 11 is down to six, and still shrinking.
On a recent afternoon, Rodriguez was throwing out old papers and packing to move to a different school. Mission Education Center will need one less teacher next year, and with seven years of service at the school, Rodriguez has the least seniority.
"It seems like every year another teacher has to leave," she said. "It's my turn."

Please note that Wikischolars is a pilot service. Check this page and the CDRS site for future updates.
Columbia Wikischolars is an online collaboration service for Columbia University researchers and scholars. Columbia researchers, instructors, and graduate students can request a Wikischolars wiki site. A wiki is a Web site that is easy to create, update, and revise without having to know any programming language. Wikis facilitate collaboration by allowing multiple organizers and members.
Columbia University faculty members, researchers, and graduate students use Wikischolars to support collaborative research and scholarship projects with colleagues both on and off the Columbia University campus. Wiki organizers can then invite colleagues to become members of the wiki and collectively use the site to
Your Wikischolars wiki is a secure space to which you control access. A site can be customized to permit varying levels of user permissions. The wiki can be made public or can be restricted to members. Scholars without a Columbia affiliation can be invited to be members of a Wikischolars wiki.
For more information about the Wikischolars service, please email email@example.com.
What is the difference between Wikischolars and CTL Wikispaces?The CTL Wikispaces service is restricted to Columbia UNI holders and is primarily used for courses at Columbia. (In fact, each course automatically has a CTL Wikispaces site, which can be activated by the instructor ). The Wikischolars service can be used by Columbia faculty, staff and graduate students as well, but can also be made available to non-Columbia affiliates. Researchers, scholars, and instructors may use either service depending on the audience that should have access to the site.
Why is there a size limit on files I can upload to my wiki?This service is meant primarily for creating web pages to facilitate research collaboration--not for storing or preserving files. If you need space for storing and sharing files, contact the IT support person designated for your department or group to find out your options. If you are a Columbia faculty member and would like to explore options for preserving your finalized digital research content, please visit the site of Academic Commons, Columbia's research repository, or contact the an Academic Commons representative at email@example.com.
Can I use my wiki to share confidential or sensitive research data, or work produced from a course?Columbia Wikischolars wikis are hosted by a private company www.wikispaces.com, owned by Tangient, LLC. All researchers who request and use a Wikischolars wiki are responsible for adhering to all official Columbia University guidelines regarding research data. Users who intend to release student information of any kind within their wikis will need explicit, written permission from the student(s) to do so. Please see the Policy on Access to Student Records (FERPA), Office of Research Compliance and Training, Institutional Review Board, Handling Personally Identifiable Information, Obligations and Responsibilities of Officers of Instruction and Research, and related sites for more information.
How can I learn more about Wikischolars?Please direct questions to firstname.lastname@example.com, which reaches a team of wiki administrators at the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) and the Columbia Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL).

Hotel Chocolat Turkish Delight Rose & Lemon
First up today we have a product that probably should been placed in a 'Snack of the Week' feature given it's non-chocolate content - ho hum I think we will all survive :D Billed as a 'mixture of lemon & rose flavoured Turkish delight pieces' these came beautifully presented in what appeared to be a handmade wooden box. Unique? ... yes, impressive looking? ... most certainly, great tasting Turkish Delight? ... unfortunately not.
Despite being a family of Turkish delight lovers, this selection of lemon and rose flavoured pieces went down about as well as a Big Mac at a Michelin Star restaurant. Trying these out with my family, there were complaints from the off, with the less than solidified gloopy texture causing many a grumble due to its horrible stickiness and 'stick to your teeth' mouth feel. I wish I could say the taste was a whole lot better, but both the rose and lemon flavours were frankly well off the mark, and were horrendously sweet and fake tasting. Given the brand on offer here we were probbably expecting too much, but it says it all when all three Turkish delight fans were yearning after the rather cheaper alternative Fry's.

Hotel Chocolat Oysters & Champagne
Back to what Hotel Chocolat know best, and surprise, surprise right back on form. This Oysters & Champagne selection came billed as 'Praline filled milk chocolate oysters served with pearls of champagne ganache'. As one might suspect, such a premium themed product demanded some premium style packaging - Hotel Chocolat didn't disappoint here. Hopefully the photos say it all for me - the box was beautifully decorated and the chocolates looked sensationally detailed and presented.
It really came as no surprise that every chocolate in this package was savoured until the very last was devoured. Praline and champagne truffles are two things that Hotel Chocolat are frankly most notable for - a simple search of the ChocolateMission archives could have told you this HERE and HERE. Suffice to say the Oysters and truffles here were totally in line with standards. The Oysters looked amazingly detailed and delivered their creamy hazelnut goodness. The Champagne truffles again oozed class with the sensationally balanced boozie champagne flavours embedded in the most delicious soft chocolate ganache. This packages gifting potential is only matched by it's self indulgence credibility.

Hotel Chocolat Marzipan
Lets be frank - never in a million years was this package including a Hotel Chocolat Marzipan Ingot and Hotel Chocolat Almond Marzipan truffles going to be anything other than magnificent. As well as being a family of Turkish Delight lovers (so we thought anyway!), we also happen to be rather partial to marzipan so with that we weren't ever going to turn down the chance to try this marzipan themed addition to the new Hotel Chocolat 'Spotlight On' range.
The total package included eight individual chocolates and one large ingot slab - a net weight of 175.0g. On the eye everything looked fantastic. The ingot could perhaps of done with a little more decoration, however everything else was very much in keeping with Hotel Chocolat's ultra high standards. Taste wise I've always said that Hotel Chocolat is just a little off Niederegger and I can only further reaffirm this view. Being just a 'little off' is no bad thing of course. Hotel Chocolat marzipan still has a delicious pastry dough almondy taste and the chocolate is of course a cut above that used by Niederegger. This is a chocolate set that any marzipan lover would adore and it's one I will be buying at Christmas to settle the marzipan pangs I always get round that time of year. An easy recommendation.

See also Impact of Internet Advertising
Only a little over 10 years ago, the newspaper business was one of the best in the world. Few cities in the U.S. could support more than a single daily newspaper, and even the large cities had one that dominated the others (such as the New York Times over the Post, and the Chicago Tribune over the Sun-Times). This created many mini-monopolies around the country, where local advertisers had to pay up to the city paper to present their products to the widest audience. Additionally, classified ads were a lucrative business. Before eBay (EBAY) and Monster Worldwide (MNST), local junk slingers and job recruiters relied on the main paper to hawk their wares or recruit new employees. Newspaper production costs are largely fixed expenses (printing 1000 copies costs little more than printing 1), so each additional paper sold over break even was almost pure profit.
Times have changed dramatically. The market value of the prominent publishers has collapsed. Newspaper publishers have seen the enemy, and it's name is the internet. The internet seems almost the perfect invention for decimating newspapers. For one, it's ubiquitous. No longer does the person selling a used camera have to sell just within his metropolitan area - now he can sell all over the world online. The internet has torn down sales barriers, allowing people from anywhere to easily buy products from any vendor, eliminating the localized markets that used to exist. With the news online, and for free, newspapers have seen their subscription rates plummet, wiping out circulation revenues. The worst for newspapers is the significant competitive advantages internet advertising has over print. When advertising online, vendors can directly target any set of characteristics to target ads to, and immediately get feedback on how successful those ads are from a return-on-investment standpoint, something that is nearly impossible to do accurately through print ads. While newspapers do, arguably, provide a better medium for consuming information, this is not nearly enough to save them from continuing decline as the internet becomes increasingly available through handheld electronic devices like Apple's (AAPL) iPhone or Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle.

I've realized I need to difirsevy more internationally I honestly don't understand inflation and deflation, but I realize that investing entirely in the US (or mostly) is a bad idea. I didn't realize that you could automatically pull in the updated stock price with google finance. That's pretty awesome. I'm going to have to try that out.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Coming off a 5-0 weekend at the Tusculum College Pioneer Classic, King University swept the Tennessee Sports Writers' Association Softball Players of the Week awards. Chrissy Melcher was named the TSWA Softball Player of the Week, and Hannah Light earned pitcher of the week honors.
Melcher collected five multi-hit games in nine contests for the week, batting .562 (18-for-32) with seven runs scored and seven runs batted in for the Tornado. The Orlando, Fla., native posted one hit in each of the first four games during the week, doubleheaders against UVa-Wise and Lincoln Memorial University.
During the Pioneer Classic over the weekend, the junior infielder batted .737 (14-for-19) in five outings with three doubles, a triple, seven runs batted in and six runs scored. She was 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs batted against #23 Kutztown University and added two hits and two runs batted in against East Stroudsburg University.
Melcher recorded three hits, two runs batted in and two stolen bases in a win over Mercyhutst University and posted three more hits in the second meeting with East Stroudsburg. She finished the weekend with three hits, including a double, and three runs scored versus UVa-Wise. She leads Conference Carolinas with a .521 batting average and a .771 slugging percentage and has 25 hits with five doubles and 11 RBIs through 14 games this season.
Light posted a 4-2 mark in seven appearances, including six starts, for King, collecting 49 strikeouts with just nine walks in 41 and two-thirds innings of work. The Coeburn, Va., native tossed four complete games in the Pioneer Classic, picking up all four of her wins, with 43 strikeouts while allowing just 18 hits.
The righthander struck out a career-high 14, giving up one earned run on six hits in a 2-1 victory over #23 Kutztown and followed that with 12 strikeouts while allowing only three hits versus East Stroudsburg. The next day against ESU, Light gave up six hits and struck out seven in a 3-2 win and posted 10 punchouts, allowing one run on three hits against UVa-Wise.
She leads the conference with 64 and two-thirds innings pitched and 77 strikeouts and ranks third with a 2.06 ERA while registering a 6-3 mark in 11 appearances this season.
The Tornado softball team opens Conference Carolinas play on Saturday at Erskine College before taking on USC Aiken on Sunday.

View the Video Watchdog Minute: Carlsbad to redo law-firm vote
- In response to: School trustee's vote aided future boss
The Carlsbad school board on Friday announced that it will redo a vote to renew a $100,000 law-firm contract, one day after U-T Watchdog reported that one board member was in negotiations for a job with the firm at the time.
Board member Kelli Moors stepped down 12 days after the July 24 vote, saying she had obtained a job with the firm.
Moors was one of four board members to vote on the contract renewal for Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost LLP, which provides legal services related to special education and personnel matters.
Moors told the Watchdog this week that she had been in talks with the law firm before the July 24 meeting about accepting a position there. Carlsbad Unified School District officials said they were not aware that Moors was in discussions with the law firm for employment because Moors did not tell anyone at the district.
State law prohibits elected officials from participating in or influencing any decision that would financially benefit a prospective employer at a time when the elected official is in negotiations with the employer.
The school board will revote on the contract at its Sept. 11 meeting, according to a statement from school board President Elisa Williamson, who also said she will recommend that the district limit its use of the law firm to critical services, lowering the contract amount.
"Although the board is not privy to the details surrounding the timing of Ms. Moors' discussion with the firm, in an abundance of caution, the contract ... will be brought back for a revote," Williamson said. "Revoting on the contract renewal after Trustee Moors' departure will obviate any questions about the validity of the board's ultimate vote under the law."
Carlsbad Superintendent Suzette Lovely said if she had known of Moors' pending employment at the time of the July 24 vote, she would have encouraged Moors to not participate.
"My role has always been to make sure we are adhering to whatever the government code would be for any particular issue," Lovely said. "If I had known that an employment contract was underway, certainly I would have made sure she recused herself."
Moors told the Watchdog this week that she did not inform anyone in the district about her job search because did not want any appearance of a conflict-of-interest.
Gary Winuk, enforcement chief for the state's Fair Political Practices Commission, said an elected official's vote can present a conflict whether she tells anyone about it or not.
"The general rule is that once you begin employment negotiations with an outside entity, you may not make, participate in or influence a decision regarding that entity," Winuk said.
Lovely said she believed that Moors did not intend to violate any laws when she participated in the July vote. Her subsequent resignation, Lovely said, was specifically to avoid a conflict between her roles with the district and the firm.
"Kelli has always been very thoughtful in her decision making and being cognizant of what the regulations are when there are potential conflicts," Lovely said. "In fairness to her record of exemplary service, it is important to recognize that there was no malicious intent with her actions."
Williamson, who had served with Moors since they both were elected in 2000, echoed Lovely's sentiments.
"I don't think this was intentional," she said.Copyright © 2018, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Three Department of Labor (DOL) agencies have responsibility for the administration and enforcement of the laws enacted to protect the safety and health of workers in America.
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration
- OSHA administers the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act.
- Safety and health conditions in most private industries are regulated by OSHA or OSHA-approved state plans.
- Nearly every employee in the nation comes under OSHA's jurisdiction with some exceptions such as miners, some transportation workers, many public employees, and the self-employed.
- Employers subject to the OSH Act also have a general duty to provide work and a workplace free from recognized, serious hazards.
- Mine Safety and Health Administration
- DOL's MSHA has responsibility for administration and enforcement of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, which protects the safety and health of workers employed in the nation's mines.
- The Act applies to all mining and mineral processing operations in the United States, regardless of size, number of employees, or method of extraction.
- The Fair Labor Standards Act
- FLSA contains rules concerning the employment of young workers, those under the age of 18, and is administered and enforced by DOL's Wage and Hour Division. Intended to protect the health and well-being of youth in America, the FLSA contains minimum age restrictions for employment, restrictions on the times of day youth may work, and the jobs they may perform.
- Other resources
- Office of Workers' Compensation Programs - Administers four major disability compensation programs which provide wage replacement benefits, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other benefits to certain workers or their dependents who experience work-related injury or occupational disease.
- Office of the Ombudsman for the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOMBD) and the SHARE initiative also play a role in the administration of DOL workplace safety and health programs.

More research – and labels – needed for GMO foods
Re: "Time to embrace GMO labeling," Nov. 17 Vincent Carroll column.
Science is a continuous process, not a particular result. It's constantly changing. The information we have now on genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, is largely industry research. It would be useful to have more studies from institutions that have nothing to gain from GMOs.
Most people are not going to keel over from GMOs, but there could be long-range effects. I am also concerned about the environmental consequences of GMOs — pesticide overuse, damage to butterflies from GMO corn, contamination of organic crops, and genetic pollution of wild relatives of major food crops, such as corn.
It took 50 years for science to determine that the herbicide atrazine (registered in 1950) has a detrimental effect on frogs and 40 years for research on Roundup's glyphosate (registered in 1973) to show the DNA, fertility and cancer effects that Roundup can cause.
We need to label GMOs.

Company news: Pfizer, CVS, Challenger Gray
Drug makers are investing $72.7 million into an adult stem cell bank that will be managed by England's University of Oxford, reported Bloomberg. The venture was piloted by Roche and includes 23 drug companies, including Pfizer, Sanofi, Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. According to Bloomberg, the bank will focus on developing 1,500 lines of adult stem cells, so they can be used for treatment studies of dementia, toxicology and schizophrenia, among other conditions. Bloomberg reported the DNA of older donors was preferable because it is more likely to have the genes related to the condition.
CVS has enhanced its mobile offerings to include immunization appointments. The new feature lets customers chose the location, date and type of immunization they want and just need a patient's date of birth to schedule an appointment at the pharmacy. The national retailer also added a tool the helps customers check pills for drug interaction risks and identify pills by shape and color.
Pharma has shed 12,886 jobs since January 2012, including 1,300 this month, according to outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas -- but the industry failed to make the most-fired list, which included the computer, transportation, good, healthcare products and retail industries. Across all industries, November layoffs are 34% higher for November 2012 than they were in November 2011, but year-to-date numbers show that layoffs are down 13% compared to last year. Hostess accounted for the bulk of the November firings, while Ford heavily contributed to those of October and HP contributed significantly to those in May.

Kinker is looking for a bull market in stocks next year and has the S&P 500 as his top pick for 2013. "The S&P 500 is the one that will see the biggest move higher. Initially, 1505 is my target," he says. "If it was to get through that, especially decisively, we easily could move up to the 1550-1560s, which would be pretty close to all-time highs. That would be the big 'Can the market do it?' point."
In contrast to both Springer and Kinker, Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co., expects the U.S. economy to strengthen next year. "I'm probably at odds with a lot of people that just see tepid recovery," he says. "As the U.S. economy builds steam, you're going to see a change in interest rate expectations. My big trade for the New Year is a central bank trade which would be to play calendar spreads on Eurodollars and Euribors."
Wilkinson expects that opportunity to develop as the growth differential widens dramatically between an austerity bitten Eurozone and a slowly recovering United States. "While the FOMC probably is quite a ways from taking away the punch bowl, I feel there's a very good opportunity for interest rate markets to run the Fed's thought process and for the yield curve to steepen," he says. "The Fed's main unemployment objective is still probably three years away, but if the trend turns favorable, you're going to see investors react negatively in yield terms to incrementally higher payroll reports."
Given that, Wilkinson is touting a calendar spread with four legs: Long the near expiration and short the further out expiration in Eurodollars; short the near expiration and long the further out expiration on the Euribor curve.
In currencies, Trevisani says 2012 presented a trading environment not encountered before in foreign exchange. "There's been a fair amount of price volatility, but there is absolutely no trend. If you look at where we were at the beginning of the year compared to now, there's been almost no change," he says. "I expect that to continue if there are no surprise central bank moves."
He expects the Australian dollar to outperform other currencies, mostly because of expectations for growth to continue in China and the risk-on paradigm to continue. "The opportunities for the first quarter or so are in the Australian dollar and those types of currencies," he says. "China has new rulers that appear to be willing to spend money to keep things rolling for a bit. Even if you don't get recovery in the rest of the world, certainly for the first couple of quarters the Chinese will keep things rolling, as long as they have enough money to do it."
Trevisani expects the Aussie to strengthen through the first quarter and maybe into the second quarter. His price target in the AUD/USD is 1.08-1.10, and is his top play for the first six months of 2013.

Newark Mayor Cory Booker has launched his own Let's Move! campaign for his city, partnering with the diet organization Weight Watchers in order to combat obesity in the city.

The campaign offers some 3,100 workers in Newark discounted membership to the celebrity-endorsed program.
"Large cities like Newark and their leaders have an important role to play in turning back the rising tide of obesity in this country," said Newark Mayor Cory Booker in a press release . "We have an example to set – an example of a thriving community that promotes healthy lifestyles. As Mayor of New Jersey's largest city, I am very conscious of the need to control rising health care costs and to have a healthy, productive workforce. Working with Weight Watchers offers City of Newark employees the support to make their personal health goals a reality."
The launch of the program is impeccably timed as it comes right after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has joked about his weight on "The Late Show" with David Letterman and snapped at an ex-White House doctor for saying she was worried about his large size.

Doubts emerged, however, when Rosales's attorney realized the boy's injuries did not seem to be from an accident, and Rosales's immobility raised suspicion over her claims. "Half-Ton Killer?" will debut on Oct. 10 at 9 p.m. Special is produced by Meglaomedia, with Jonathan Nowzaradan exec producing.

I was out of town most of the weekend, so I missed Saturday's cover shoot with our 2011 Mother's Day Cover Mom Contest winner. I'm eager to hear about it from Art Director Michelle-Renee Adams and Photographer Daniel Friedman when I get back to work on Monday.
Michelle notified our winner (whose name shall remain a secret until our May issue comes out). My job was to contact the two moms who were the runners up. They both wrote fabulous, heartfelt essays about their commitment to raising children who respect and protect our environment. So I felt very apologetic as I wrote to tell them they almost won.
"Your essay was a runner-up for our cover mom contest," I wrote to each of the moms. "So while I'm sorry that you and your [son/daughter] won't be on our cover, you will be receiving a gift certificate from Desert Ridge Marketplace/Tempe Marketplace."
I wasn't sure what kind of response to expect, but the messages that quickly came back were gracious and completely appreciative.
From Karen O'Regan of Clarkdale, adoptive mother of 12-year-old David:
Thanks so much! I'm so pleased!!! It is very exciting to be a runner-up! I have been a subscriber for years and appreciate your magazine. I especially appreciated the recent articles on adoption and handling grief.
From Molly Costa of Phoenix, mother of 1-year-old Keira:
How fun, that is so exciting we are a runner-up! I saw the [Facebook] post about the contest and figured, why not? It came at a perfect time because I'm just experiencing all of these "firsts" with my daughter and her enjoyment of nature and being outside. It is the best — amazing at what your kids teach you, right?
We give away a lot of great stuff each year — from cover opportunities to trips to tickets to new movies and live performances. We don't always hear back from the people who win. So it's very gratifying when we do. Shortly after I received those lovely messages from Karen and Molly, I heard from a mom whose family won tickets to the "Born To Be Wild 3D" movie sneak preview Saturday morning at the AMC Desert Ridge IMAX. (It opens to the public April 8.)
From Dana MacComb of Phoenix:
We had a great time! The movie was moving and lovely. We felt like we were right next to the animals. I cried almost the entire time, very moving. All of us agreed that it was a great family event.
And it was a great email weekend.

Actress Ashley Greene struggled to cope with her new-found fame after the success of Twilight because her celebrity negatively affected her relationships with her closest friends.
Greene became an overnight star in 2008 after landing the role of Robert Pattinson's sister Alice Cullen in the vampire film franchise, but as the 25 year old tried to come to terms with her new life in the spotlight, she worried she was at risk of losing her best pals.
She tells Marie Claire magazine, "It was a hard adjustment going from zero to 100 in a day. But it was also hard to talk to (friends), because you don't want to be a jerk (and brag).
"After the movie came out, some people said, 'You changed'. And I said, 'I haven't changed, dude. Your opinion of me has changed because I'm working on this film.' Trust me, my parents would let me know (if I changed)."

Consensus Report
Letter Report to the Florida Department of Citrus on the Review of Research Proposals on Citrus Greening (2008)Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Citrus Greening has emerged as a major threat to citrus production in Florida. The disease, which is spread by an insect, can infect and kill trees within a few years; currently, there is no cure. To address this devastating disease, the Florida Citrus Production Research Advisory Council and the Florida Department of Citrus together established a research grants program that supports innovative research leading to solutions for Citrus Greening and other citrus diseases. At the request of those organizations, the National Research Council convened an independent committee to review the 205 proposals submitted to the program in 2008. The committee's report recommends 83 proposals for funding based on evaluations of their relevance, scientific quality, and demonstrated capacity.

PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC -- I just wanted to let people know that the Moon Palace Resort & Casino in Punta Cana has opened its doors on Jan 9,2009. Well, at least opened its majestic doors to let some poor (unbeknown to them) guests that most of the resort was NON-OPERATIONAL!!! As of this writing, I am still not sure what is functionally open @ this time.
The golf course, casino, & spa are NOT yet open with no set date to open is what several representatives of Palace resorts have told me. I'm not sure if the nightclub is open, most say it isn't, one representative that I spoke to said it is. I was told only 4 restaurants are now open, 2 swimming pools, (depends on whom you speak to). There is a TripAdvisor forum on the web that has many baffled "soon to be guests" wondering what they are in for.
One poor guest came back from their stay & had NO light bulbs or a toilet seat in their room! How can that be? How can a resort get away with that? I have tried to search for answers for sometime now & all I get is a runaround of phone numbers & e-mail contacts (which have yet to respond) & no one can help me. I have tried to contact the resort itself DIRECTLY, (good luck with that one) which is near impossible to speak to someone, much less in English & that is why I have decided to join my3cents.
I don't want anyone else to make this same mistake & have the misfortune of dealing with an organization, Palace resorts, that doesn't care about its paying consumers or even know what the words "customer service mean. It's just a shame! This is posted on Palace resorts website & that is just another fallacy on their part. I think they need to update their website ASAP!!! You would think that there would be a law against such blatant lies, misinformation & total avoidance on the part of Moon Palace Resorts! Here's their post....
December 23, 2008 Moon Palace Casino, Golf & Spa Resort In order to keep clients informed about the progress of this resort, we include here the facilities that will be available at the time of the opening: 12 outdoor pools, 3 kids pools with water toys & toboggan, 4 swim up bars, sunbathing area, kids club, 6 restaurants (Tao, Spaggo, Los Gallos, Lucca, Marina Grill, and Samba), all snack bars and bars with the exception of the casino bar, the sports bar and the bar at the night club. Gift shops, boutiques, spa boutique, jewelry stores, deli shops, and flower shops will also be open.
The golf course is expected to have 9 holes ready by June and the back 9 by September. The spa facilities are scheduled to be ready by January 31st. Facilities such as the tennis courts, fitness center and Xtreme Center should be available by last week of February. The Casino is slated to open by the end of March. Isn't the latter paragraph intriguing? I found it totally appalling that I was not contacted by Palace resorts or RCI for that matter where I booked my vacation regarding the conditions @ the resort. On RCI's behalf, Palace resorts is supposed to let them know of any problems which of course they did not.
I found out through a TripAdvisor forum. Interesting, don't you think? Even to this date, 6 days AFTER their grand opening, no one has contacted myself or the other couple we are traveling with & by the looks on the forum, many others to let us know of these problems. I guess they want your $$$ @ all costs! All I want is to speak to someone who knows what is going on, can reassure me of my concerns, and let me know what my options are regarding my visit. Is that too much to ask? Check it out for yourself. If someone can get some concrete answers for me, I would bow down & kiss your feet!
PS I really am taking issue w/ Palace resorts in general, mainly it's upper echelon who know the answers & can resolve the issues. I feel it is distasteful & cowardly for them to hide behind its employees who are @ the front lines everyday, dealing with our concerns & questions & leaving them flailing to fend for themselves. Way to go Palace resorts!
MIAMI, FLORIDA -- We've been members for over 10 years and go every year with complete satisfaction, "until last week"... We had 5 rooms at the Sun Palace for the week of July 4 to July 11. We tried to take advantage of our silver membership and have a perfect wedding for my Son and new Bride on the grounds of the hotel, "which was nice" but everything else about this week was a total disappointment! We went to the Customer Representative and requested maintenance to 3 of our rooms that were one inch deep of water wall to wall because of rain water coming under the threshold of the door.
They acted like we were a nuisance and said they would send maintenance over. All they did was sent over the cleaning ladies with squeegee to push the water around, which resulted in rooms not getting cleaned twice that week because they were busy doing maintenance work. We were told by staff "They were aware of the flooding issues with several of the guest rooms for quite some time." One room had no hot water in the shower for three days with no response until the fourth and angry visit to the CR desk. One room, the refrigerator never did work. Our room smelled like mold so bad it made all of our clothes smell like they were dirty.
To top it all off when trying to pay for our room tabs they ran my bank card for $2015 and said it was denied!!! Then we tried my wife's card and split the bill and paid the balance with her bank card. We quickly discovered that the cashier actually did get an authorization to charge our account for the original $2015, it just took longer for authorization because he typed the numbers in.
Needless to say they screwed up and doubled charged our account $2015 and now I'm left with trying to straighten out what they did with my bank this week! We did find out from one of the staff that Palace Resorts were under new ownership and they made huge cuts on staffing! I haven't been this pissed about anything for a long time. By the way the gift shop discount that came with our $25K membership investment with the resort is gone! - Makes me wonder what we'll get stiffed for next?
I tried to book the Moon Palace on their website, operated by FunJet. Each time we put in our credit card number the site responded check numbers and try again. After the 3 time we still could not book the trip. No big deal right? Wrong. They actually funds out of our account all 3 times. Numerous calls to Moon Palace went nowhere so we searched for whom took the money out. YES FunJet.
After 3 days on the phone with them still no vacation, no refund of our money and now We have bounced our house payment. So now I have 2 little girls and a wife crying, a reduced credit rating and not one person I have spoke with are prepared to help. DO NOT GO TO MOON PALACE OR EVER USE FUNJET.

Bistro Latino finds home at former Greenwich Tavern
Former Greenwich Tavern: Chef Rafael Palomino brings 'modern tapas' to East Putnam Avenue
While the Greenwich Tavern used to serve upscale American-style food like salmon and skirt steak, the menu of its successor, Bistro Latino, is more at home in Spain or South America
Earlier this year, Greenwich Tavern at 1392 E. Putnam Ave., closed to make way for renovations to accommodate the new style and atmosphere that its chef, Rafael Palomino, hoped to bring to his new Spanish-themed venture, Bistro Latino.
The restaurant, which opened last month, offers a simple twist on the traditional Spanish tapas, making the small savory plates with seasonal ingredients to create what Palomino calls "modern tapas."
Palomino's new menu has taken some of the staples of Greenwich Tavern -- steak, gourmet mac and cheese, seafood -- and played with different, more Latin-based flavors, adding other elements of Spanish cuisine like paella and a selection of Spanish wines.
"People like it, it's exciting, it's fun because with tapas, you don't have to get a main course, so you can have more flexibility," Palomino said. "It's a little more recession friendly."
Bistro Latino has changed the look of the venue, too, with 400 bottles of wine lining the walls, bare wood surfaces stripped of white tablecloths and an opportunity for communal dining at two long, narrow tables running through the restaurant.
"The whole energy is different," Palomino said. "You come in and you have those two communal tables, which give that New York City energy to it."
Bistro Latino is geared to appeal to a younger audience, Palomino said, and provide a place for both Greenwich and Stamford customers to eat outside of the downtown areas. The location, which hosted a number of restaurants before Greenwich Tavern, has always been a popular spot, said Marcia O'Kane, executive director of the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce.
"That tends to be a good site for restaurants," O'Kane said, citing ample parking and easy accessibility as contributing factors. "I have no doubt they'll do well because they'll benefit from the folks who used to frequent Greenwich Tavern. It seems that Spanish food is very popular these days and I'm sure they will take advantage of that trend."
Palomino, born in Bogota, Colombia, introduced his brand of Latin food in the 1990s, with the restaurant Sonora in New York City. Since then, the restaurants he has opened include Black Rock Tavern in Fairfield and Pacifico in New Haven, as well as restaurants in Pennsylvania and New York.
